Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African Americans and Latinos earn lower grades and drop out of college more often than whites or Asians. Yet thirty years after deliberate minority recruitment efforts began, we still don't know why. In The Shape of the River, William Bowen and Derek Bok documented the benefits of affirmative action for minority students, their communities, and the nation at large. But they also found that too many failed to achieve academic success. In The Source of the River, Douglas Massey and his colleagues investigate the roots of minority underperformance in selective colleges and universities. They explain how such factors as neighborhood, family, peer group, and early schooling influence the academic performance of students from differing racial and ethnic origins and differing social classes. Drawing on a major new source of data--the National Longitudinal Survey of Freshmen--the authors undertake a comprehensive analysis of the diverse pathways by which whites, African Americans, Latinos, and Asians enter American higher education. Theirs is the first study to document the different characteristics that students bring to campus and to trace out the influence of these differences on later academic performance. They show that black and Latino students do not enter college disadvantaged by a lack of self-esteem. In fact, overconfidence is more common than low self-confidence among some minority students. Despite this, minority students are adversely affected by racist stereotypes of intellectual inferiority. Although academic preparation is the strongest predictor of college performance, shortfalls in academic preparation are themselves largely a matter of socioeconomic disadvantage and racial segregation. Presenting important new findings, The Source of the River documents the ongoing power of race to shape the life chances of America's young people, even among the most talented and able.

Book Synopsis Executive Function and Education by : Mariëtte Huizinga
Download or read book Executive Function and Education written by Mariëtte Huizinga and published by Frontiers Media SA. This book was released on 2018-09-21 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Executive function is an umbrella term for various cognitive processes that are central to goal-directed behavior, thoughts, and emotions. These processes are especially important in novel or demanding situations, which require a rapid and flexible adjustment of behavior to the changing demands of the environment. The development of executive function relies on the maturation of associated brain regions as well as on stimulation in the child’s social contexts, especially the home and school. Over the past decade, the term executive function has become a buzzword in the field of education as both researchers and educators underscore the importance of skills like goal setting, planning, and organizing in academic success. Accordingly, in initiating this Research Topic and eBook our goal was to provide a forum for state-of-the-art theoretical and empirical work on this that both facilitates communication among researchers from diverse fields and provides a theoretically sound source of information for educators. The contributors to this volume, who hail from several different countries in Europe and North America, have certainly accomplished this goal in their nuanced and cutting-edge depictions of the complex links among various executive function components and educational success.

Book Synopsis Standing Outside on the Inside by : Olga M. Welch
Download or read book Standing Outside on the Inside written by Olga M. Welch and published by State University of New York Press. This book was released on 1997-03-20 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At a time when increased emphasis is placed on pre-college preparation of disadvantaged students, the number of African American students entering colleges and universities continues to decline and the achievement gaps between these students and their White peers persist. While many enrichment programs report impressive gains, little research on these programs contains the perspective of the Black students. This book presents the results of a longitudinal study of academic achievement and pre-college enrichment of disadvantaged African American adolescents in two inner-city high schools. Through its presentation and analysis of the students' perceptions of pre-college enrichment seen in relation to their definitions of scholarship and the discussion of findings related to parent and teacher involvement, this book provides fresh perspectives on the school experiences of Black adolescents and offers important insights for those involved in both the development and evaluation of enrichment programs.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first in a series, this study uses newly available data to describe the measurable changes in coursetaking, academic achievement, educational aspirations, and college enrollment rates of American high school students in the decade since the 1983 publication of "A Nation At Risk." The study's principal findings are: (1) high school students are taking more courses, particularly in academic areas; (2) students are taking more difficult courses as well as a greater number of courses; (3) according to the National Assessment of Educational Progress, students appear to be learning more in mathematics and science; (4) the increase in academic course-taking does not appear to have adversely affected the achievement of advanced students; (5) for the most part, students with lower abilities do not appear to have suffered as a result of curricular reforms instituted since the publication of "A Nation At Risk"; (6) fewer students are dropping out of high school between 10th and 12th grade than were dropping out a decade ago; (7) students' educational aspirations are increasing; (8) the percentage of graduates going immediately on to college continues to rise; (9) enrollment in college over the past decade has increased despite dramatic increases in college costs between 1982 and 1992; (10) it is difficult to assess how increases in the academic proficiency of 17-year-olds and the percentage of high school graduates going to college affect the academic preparedness of college freshmen--that is, whereas SAT and ACT math scores increased and verbal scores decreased, the percentage of colleges and universities offering remedial instruction or tutoring increased.

Book Synopsis A Comparative Study of Academic Success, Performance, Persistence, and Attitudes Between Traditional and Early-admit Community College Students by : Zaneta Brown-Ingles
Download or read book A Comparative Study of Academic Success, Performance, Persistence, and Attitudes Between Traditional and Early-admit Community College Students written by Zaneta Brown-Ingles and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Increasing numbers of students enrolling in college, escalating costs of higher education, constrained public and private resources, and inadequate preparation of students for secondary coursework are obstacles to the achievement of the American dream of attending and completing college. Dual enrollment programs based at community colleges have the potential of addressing these obstacles. Critical determinants to the effectiveness of dual enrollment programs are the achievements, attitudes, levels of satisfaction, and demographics of students who might benefit from participation in the programs. The purpose of this study was to compare the success rates of students that entered college through the traditional pathway to the success rates of students who were enrolled in the early admit program. The methodology involved the collection and analysis of qualitative and quantitative data selected from three groups. The groups included high school students dually enrolled at the community college, students who were enrolled at the community college who did not participate in the dual enrollment program, and an interview was conducted with only the students who were dually enrolled. Analyses of data revealed interesting relationships among student achievement, attitude, level of satisfaction, and demographics of students who might benefit from participation in dual enrollment programs. For example, students enrolled in the dual enrollment program were more likely to have higher college grade point averages and college placement exam scores than traditional students. The study is believed to lay the groundwork for a more definitive study. Recommendations for future research stems from the results posited from the study, several aspects may change in the lives of students enrolled in the dual enrollment program. There was (a) an increase in the current GPA, (b) an increase in the number of students who passed the college placement exams, (c) an increase in the level of motivation in the students to excel not only at the high school level, but at the college level, (d) a reduction in the areas of curricula redundancy in the last year of high school and first year of college. The program also: (e) served as a bridge between the high school and the college, and (f) gave the high school students an opportunity to take college level courses at a fraction of the price. -- Abstract.
